I have SOed several IDPA matches where he shot. He was accompanied by his wife, who also shot one of the matches. He travels around the match with a cart fitted out with a beach umbrella kind of thing and chairs and whatnot. Despite his rock star status, and the fact he is also usually accompanied by the folks from some video company or another, he is a kind and pleasant a fellow as you could ever hope to meet. Pastes targets with the rest of the crew, follows the SO instructions, doesn’t fuss if he’s awarded a procedural. (Those things can be said of many — but certainly not all — of the big name shooters.) And — oh my holy LORD — is he fast. Watching him shoot a revolver is especially rewarding. Just a guy with an amazing natural gift that he has honed through a lifetime of hard work.

I’ll echo the above sentiments. I RO USPSA and I’ve worked with him, but I first really met him at SHOT one year. We took a break at the same time and had lunch together. Such a soft-spoken guy, and little too! He seemed half my size, but he has huge, strong hands (which is saying a lot coming from me. My grip strength is in the 99th percentile in the US). He’s just an all-around great guy. One of the true ambassadors of the sport. He doesn’t carry around the ego that many other top shooters I’ve met do. Go Jerry!

i was wondering why he put five in the center and 1 in the rest… guess it’s just part of the drill?!?

Also wonder if he’s using special rounds, light on the powder and a light weight bullet… I’ve shot a 50bmg before with full power loads and there’s no way you could pull the trigger while standing without being knocked back a ways!

Not trying to tarnish his skills, hell, even with reduced power loads that rifle is a BEAST, and handling it so nimbly is truly a feat.

Five in the center because that is how you run the V-drill. Center – right -center – left center -far right – center – far left – center. It’s a pistol-shooting standards drill that hones gun movement. Usually two-rounds per target. Here he is doing with a 1911.

He’s just an awful media personality, not really worth an idle death threat. At least make those against someone who is legitimately dangerous like a dictator or terrorist. I hear that gets a green check on the FBI list of angry things you can say on the internet.
